APAAR (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) ID initiative is part of the 'One Nation, One Student ID' program launched by the government, aligning with the new National Education Policy of 2020.
It helps track academic credits, achievements, and transitions throughout a student’s life, starting from school. Students can easily create their APAAR ID through platforms like DigiLocker or the UMANG app, both developed by the Indian government to offer secure and simplified digital access to public services.
Once an APAAR ID is successfully created, it is automatically added to the student's DigiLocker account. The virtual APAAR ID card can be accessed under the 'Issued Documents' section within the app or web portal.
Additionally, the status of APAAR ID generation can be tracked through the UDISE+ portal, specifically under the APAAR Module, which provides a comprehensive list of students along with the current status of their APAAR IDs.

The APAAR (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) offers a range of advantages designed to streamline and enrich a student's academic journey:
For minors, APAAR ID creation requires parental or guardian consent. Schools are also directed to guide parents through the consent process. All data is stored securely, with government-regulated encryption standards to ensure student privacy.
The Ministry of Education assures that no data will be shared without permission, and parents have the authority to revoke consent at any point.
The APAAR ID is a vital part of India’s digital education ecosystem under NEP 2020. It not only streamlines academic record-keeping but also empowers students with a lifelong digital credential. Creating it through DigiLocker or the UMANG app is free, quick, and secure.
Students and parents are encouraged to create APAAR IDs early to ensure smooth access to digital academic services and benefits.
